My quest is complete. Growing up in the 70's and 80s ( I am 43), I loved Ludwigs and Tamas. I found a large set of 76 Ludwig 3ply's last year but I had yet to close the Tama search. Today the journey ended. Here are my new (well, new to me) 1975 Tamas :)

WOOT INDEED!
Those look sweet enough to put on your pancakes! Congrats!!!
Is this the kit we were discussing in the other thread?
No, I found these today up in Wisconsin. They are heading to Texas tomorrow. The other ones had been modified. I realized the cross badge was missing and I saw the faint outline of the concert rectangular badge. The store ddnt seem to care and wouldnt budge on the price. I decided to pass, and boy am I glad I did. Once I get them, I will post up pictures.
Those look like rering era drums,which in my opinion are the BEST Imp's-rerings w/speckle paint.
Cool! I just sold a similar set (24/13/14/18/14x6.5KB snare). Looking at the photo of yours there looks to be some drums with the earlier muffler and some with the later style. Maybe a transition or maybe my poor eyesight.

Perfect! I re-read the thread and saw what you meant about the modifications. Ya did good! So... how much? (heh heh heh... no shame here.)

Andrew! Those are great! Please post those on the thread for reference.
Midnight Blue is my favorite finish for Imperialstars....

I probably paid too much, but I gave $800 for the set. With tax and shipping it was close to $900. :eek: I don't want to know how much I overpaid but I need to know. Go ahead and be the bearer of my bad news.
